John Lawless Poet Senryu

A TIGER TREMBLES

branches hang heavy
darkness roils overhead
a tiger trembles


lottery tickets
adrift in rain swept gutters
discarded dreams


weeping roses bow
in a stillness silenced scent
a bee bumbles


arachnid two step
a spider shakes his wet legs
a diamond studded web


subdued bells echo
a heavy fog mutes the chime
a stray cat hisses


childish merriment
dark ripples on the water
mud pie take-out

Hilda Greenhough June 23, 2024 at 9:45 PM I enjoy these descriptions, especially the last one about mud pies. These are lovely senyus.

Nette Onclaud June 23, 2024 at 6:49 PM wow, an array of senryus beautifully arranged...I like them though the tickets and mud-pie are engaging!

Gershon Wolf June 23, 2024 at 6:35 PM These are all super, in my opinion, anyway. Serve up those mud-pies, man...
